Farscape: The Game You can't be the number one television series on the Sci-Fi channel and expect not to be noticed, especially when Simon & Schuster are watching the boob tube. Scheduled for a first quarter debut in 2002, the Farscape videogame plans to mix the intense graphical splendor found on the television with an unannounced action/adventure engine that will see John Crichton and the gang solving puzzles, blasting baddies, and saving the universe from certain doom. For more, check out the official Farscape website and immerse yourself in all the alien glory.

Who Wants to Hit the Million Mark?, UK Edition We suppose that it's only fitting that the first game to sell over a million copies in Britain would have "million" in its title. Boasting over 624,000 copies sold on PlayStation, 347,000 copies on PC, and 39,000 on Dreamcast, Eidos Interactive's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" is the UK's number one pastime. With a scheduled GameBoy version soon to follow and a sequel to the CD version a high priority, it would appear that Eidos is just getting started. Cheers!

To participate, head on over to the Westwood's server at 7pm Eastern on January 30th, and get ready to take in an hour's worth of the good stuff.
